Episode 128: How long should I maintain weight loss?

In this episode, I talk about the reality of trying to stay in a calorie deficit for weight loss, and why it’s not as simple as just “eat less, move more.” I explain why your approach needs to be personalised based on things like how big your deficit is, your current body fat levels, and what’s actually going on in your life.

I also share why I’m not a fan of long, drawn-out dieting phases without a break. Instead, I prefer shorter, more manageable blocks that are easier to stick to and less likely to burn you out.

And finally, I touch on the fact that life isn’t predictable. Things come up, routines change, and that all impacts your ability to stay consistent. So rather than fighting that, I show you how to work with it.
